Magneto-rheological elastomers (MRE), consisting of elastomeric matrix containing ferromagnetic particles, are a kind of smart material, whose mechanical properties are controllable via applied magnetic fields. In this paper, the possibility of adopting these materials to realize vibration isolators for lightweight structures is evaluated. Such isolators must be stiff enough in the vertical direction,...
Recent research has shown that hierarchical laminated composites can be profitably employed to improve the actuation performance of electrically-activated soft dielectric transducers. This note focuses on two types of rank-two layouts composed of ideal dielectric phases which follow nonlinear hyper-elastic mechanical behaviour and aims at providing a simplified set of solving equations for voltage-controlled...
